About this listen
What does one man’s courage have to do with the history of baseball and that cards collectors cherish most? In this heartfelt and thought-provoking episode of Sports Cards & A Cup of Joe, Joe reflects on the legacy of Jackie Robinson, inspired by revisiting Ken Burns’ legendary Baseball documentary.
From the brutal reality of breaking the color barrier to the ripple effect that changed the game forever, Joe explores why Jackie Robinson’s impact reaches far beyond stats and box scores. Along the way, he weaves in unforgettable stories, overlooked pioneers who followed Jackie into the majors, and why Robinson remains one of the most important, and desirable, figures in the vintage sports card hobby.
This episode blends history, hobby insight, and personal reflection, making a compelling case for why Jackie Robinson matters as much today as he did in 1947. Whether you’re a lifelong collector, a baseball history buff, or simply someone who appreciates stories of resilience and leadership, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
Pour a cup of coffee, settle in, and join Joe for a conversation about courage, legacy, and the card that every serious collector should own.
